Pips out vs Inverted

Equipment

Jerry Leslie Asked 8 years ago

I have a decent backhand stroke, I believe. However, when I miss, I tend to "over lift" the ball. I use Tibhar Nimbus Sound (inverted). Do you think switching to a short pips rubber would be advisable?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

I don't think you need a change in rubber perhaps just a slight change in stroke. Focus on the same contact but getting your bat moving more forward. It will be the subtlety of the change of the spin and speed of the incoming ball as well that you need to watch and adjust to.

If you are not recognising this you will find the same mistakes happening with short pips.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
